Ispmanager Update: Faster & Easier cPanel Migration with Rsync!

We’re always working to make ispmanager better for you, so we’ve rolled out a new migration method from cPanel using rsync. This has made the process faster, more efficient, and fully automated. Let’s see what’s changed!

What’s New?

Previously, migrating from cPanel to ispmanager required creating and restoring backups manually. Now, with the new rsync-based migration, you can transfer data directly from cPanel over SSH in just a few clicks.

Why This Matters

The old migration method via backups was time-consuming and required extra disk space. The new approach removes those limitations.

🔴Before

🟢After

  • Users had to create a full backup in cPanel.
  • The backup had to be uploaded and unpacked in ispmanager.
  • Required 4x more disk space than the data being transferred.
  • Migration took long, especially for large accounts.
  • Direct migration — No need for backup creation or unpacking.
  • Minimal storage requirements — No extra disk space needed.
  • Always up-to-date data — Migrates live data instead of old backup files.
  • Faster process — Transfers happen instantly over SSH.
     

Key Benefits

With rsync migration, you get:

  • Speed — Skip the long backup-restore process and migrate in one step;
  • Efficiency — No need for additional disk space on the destination server;
  • Live data transfer — No outdated or lost files;
  • Simplicity — Enter your cPanel credentials, select users, and start the migration.
